fruits now offered are, in many IN

Of the past that they can Be regar-
ded a. little less than marvellous.
Not only have advances been ac-
.complished in the fruits themselves:
bnt the improvements in distribu-
ting the trees and plants that pro-
duce them to all parts Of the coun-
try have been equally great. By
these modern methods farmer or
fruit grower can sit at his fireside,,
and, in addition to having nursery
stock delivered at his home, at half
the cost Of the old way, get Just
what he wants and orders. abso-
Iutely true to name and in perfect
condition for growing at the proper
season for planting. "Loyett' 5
Guide tells the whole story about
the fruits, giving their defects as
we'll as their merits), how to plant,
cultivate and prune them, etc, and
the way to obtain them by mail, ex-
press or freight. Rarely have We
found such a fund Of valuable in
formation in such a clear and con-
densed form. The sHuide'' is q
book Of seventy pages, elegantly
printed, sumptuously illustrated
throughout, and embellished with a
beautiful photographic cover
and several artisticaIly executed

The Term. an Inventor Made,

George Stayner, Ives & Co.'S sole remain ing partner, got his start through a valuable invention. 4 man in whom Stayner was in- terested died suddenly in New Haven, Conn where Stayner was small trsdesman, and left an invention for engraving the backs of bank notss Stayner, by some means or other, got hold of the machine and came 10 New York at once. He went to the New York Bank Note company-a sort Of Stand ard Oil monopoly in this sort of work-and asked to See the president
 ~Does he know your the attendant asked
 sNop, said the visitor, carelessly, but you tell him that he'h want to know me pretty darn bad when he finds out what this ma chine can do.'
 In a few moments the president and the superintendent looked at the machine, and saw that it could perform the delicate and Ealeidoscopic tracery on bank notes in fasn- ion that put their prevailing methods to the blush.
 What are your termsT' asked the prosi- dent.
 Stayner said be wanted lump sum and a big block of the stock. The terms were stag- geTing. but the machine was a nailer
 Give us ten days to think it over" said the president, ~and we will then give you our answer

Benson.

The future outlook for Benson is con- sidered quite favorable although times are somewhat dull now, and quiSe a number of business and pri- yate houses are vacant, but it msin- tsins several good stores and about as many saloons. Much of its
 its present trade comes from the San Pedro cattle men and fsrners, and in addition 10 this, there is considerable of mining country ths! also draws Its supplies from there.
 The Rogers Brothers are going out of business with Q view of removing to California, and GoldwRter of Fairbanks will take their place. The old building of l.. Zsckendorf near the depo! IS being repaired for his occupancy.
 u. D. Redield, an industrious and energetic young man keeps 6 general grocery store and news stand and IS deservingly doing quite well.
 Benson, to its credit, has 0 good hotel, the Virginia House, formerly run by E. Nucovich, but now kept by Mrs. Doyle, formerly proprietress of the Elite Res tsurant in this city. Mrs. Coyle thor oughly understands the way of making guests comfortable. Here it would not be Hmiss 10 state thst in Mr. Bryant Benson has a model postmaster. The office, he says, was created by the gov ernment for the convenience of the peO- pie, and that postmssters were EppOinl- ed to serve them.

There Is not than be a more popular postmaster in the Terri tory Ot Arizona to-day.

Tombstone.

Tombstone IS attracting considerable
 attention among mining men at present
 and general revival in businesi is un-
 ticipated, some SIX hundred men are
 employed, about half of whom are work
 ing ID the mines owned or controlled by
 Ine Grand Central Mining Company.
 Abe recent rise Tn copper has also ms
 'etlsIly strengthened the financial inter ests or the town, inasmuch as Bisbee Is slneEr nelghbor and each month con- tributes largely to the mercantile of the town. Although far from being as flush As ID the pslmy days before ihe gres, strike, her people still have much to be thankful for. SuIne of her merchant. complain Ofdull times and stringepcy of money, but all acknowledge to the receipt of a fair share of buslDess that Keeps the wolf far from their doors, ana all are of the unanimous oehet that the outlook for the future IS better than it has been for several years past. Th5 saloons gen ersllY do 8 good business, but among them trade Is not so evenly divided as among the mercantile firms. some few ot The larger and more attractive places dOiag the major portion of the busI- hess, but every one appeared satisfied ana had no complaints to mske.
 The only hotel in town of any note is the Occidental, conducted on the Euro pean plan, by Mir. Joseph Pas holy. Here as much comfort eau be found and attention had as ID any hotel in the ter rltory. Everything about the place is elesn and inviting and travellers visiting Tombstone will favor themselves if they soIOurn with Mine Host of the Occi. dental.
 Tombstone has two live papers. the Daily Tombstone and Weekly Epiigpn. Both are well managed and are deserving Of better support than they receive. Both, however, complain of lack of pst- rOnage on the part of tine business nler and reading public generally. This can hardly be called fair deal, as without a newspaper, a town would look q. ad indeed. Tucson supports two dailies, both Of which take the associated press dispatches. PheniI also supports tLre daily papers, one of which also takes said dispatches. and why Tombstone, with all of her hustle and activity, Can not support like paper, is problem poi easily solved by SD outsider. Probably hey will do SO later on. but heretofore. | for some unknown cause, they have no, been successful in thIs line, A more free or generous hearted people than | th Jse of Tombstone does not exist, ba' somehow or other, it does not | seem 10 run towards newspapers | quite ss much as # should.
 On the whole the outlook for the | camp Is most excellent and while there l are sn sbundance of miners in the place | Tor oil the work m progress, many peo- pie believe that at Do distant day other mines will start up and additional help needed.

To the PGint.

The Leavenworsh Times says: It has been the universal experience of tine merchants of the country over, that ad- vertIsiIg in newspaper yields the quick est returns. A good newspaper enters the families of the purchasing classes, and is read by all. It informs the pub lie who the leading merchants are and what they have to sell. It is sn index of the trade to the city, and proof Of the enterprise of its merchants. The feeling that every dollar spent for news paper advertising IS 6 loss is great mis- take.
 It should be borne in mind also, that the standing and reputation of a town depends largely upon the appearance and quality of its leading newspaper There are proofs of this on every hand. Cities ID our oEr state have been built ID by its own newspapers, and towns of insignifcaDoe have been so Rdver- tissi as 10 attract the attention of the whole country. But this cannot be done unless the newspaper receives smpie supDort from every merchant ID toED. The interests of the newspapers and merchants are mutual; the one sub serves the other. If the merchants Of a city desire a good newspaper and one 70 advertise the town, they must join hands and willingly give tbelr support Advertising psysl Its results may not be directly traced, but are there.
